What humans do is build. For many of us, it starts from that magical moment when we find a Lego piece on the floor that we had thrown from the crib. Then we pick it up and put it together with another piece. Yes, we build.<\/p>\n
We build a life, love, families, houses, roads, cities, airports and space shuttles. We transform places into new places. Sometimes those changes are mundane. Sometimes they are astonishing. And the astonishing ones become stories.<\/p>\n
Unlikely Territories <\/i>is a trip through the stories that built extraordinary places that often are missing in travel guides. Small accounts and formidable achievements. Reports of success, of failures, of empty beaches and flying boats. Stories of cities enclosed in a building and of buildings that travel through time. Of concrete scars and cardboard castles. Stories of houses and families. Of love and roads.<\/p>\n
Stories about life.<\/p>\n
Pedro Torrijos <\/b>(Madrid, Spain, 1975) is a storyteller. And he tells stories because that\u2019s what he\u2019s always wanted to do. He holds both a degree in Musci and Architecture, and since 2011 he\u2019s dedicated to telling stories in every possible way and format. Stories about men, women and places. His articles have been published in El Pa\u00eds, Yorokobu, and Jot Down. He\u2019s also produced some podcasts and he has a growing community of fans that follows his stories on social media. If you find him out in the street, he\u2019ll probably tell you a story. Unlikely Territories is his first book.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
